Prose overview
The 2022 Toyota Tacoma carries a maximum towing capacity of 6,800 lbs when properly equipped, paired with a Class III hitch. As with every truck and SUV, the rating swings by engine, drivetrain, cab and bed configuration, and rear axle ratio — so two 2022 Toyota Tacomas on the same lot can be rated thousands of pounds apart. Match your trailer to the lowestrelevant limit (towing capacity, payload, GCWR, and hitch rating), and verify against the sticker inside the driver's-side door jamb.
